The Philadelphia Flyers have laid out their 2026-27 broadcast plan, and the setup again splits between NBC Sports Philadelphia and Beasley Media Group Philadelphia.
NBC Sports Philadelphia will air 71 games in all, covering every one of the Flyers’ four preseason games plus 67 regular season contests. The telecasts will continue to be paired with Flyers Pregame Live and Flyers Postgame Live, with Ashlyn Sullivan, Al Morganti, and Scott Hartnell hosting those shows.
The first regular season NBCSP broadcast arrives Oct. 3, when the defending Stanley Cup Champion Carolina Hurricanes visit Philadelphia for a 7 p.m. ET matchup. Jim Jackson, who has handled Flyers play-by-play since 1995, will be back in the booth with analyst Brian Boucher, entering his fourth season in that role.
One of the season’s marquee local TV dates comes on Black Friday. The Flyers’ Nov. 27 game against the Vancouver Canucks, set for 3 p.m. ET, will air as a simulcast on NBCSP and NBC10.
Fans who want to watch online can stream NBCSP’s live game coverage, along with the pregame and postgame shows, through the NBC Sports app and NBCSportsPhiladelphia.com. The site will also keep rolling out written, video, and audio coverage throughout the season.
On the radio side, 97.5 The Fanatic is again the Flyers’ flagship station, with select games also airing on 93.3 WMMR. Tim Saunders, the team’s play-by-play voice since 1997, will anchor the broadcast alongside Todd Fedoruk, who returns for a fourth season as color analyst. Pregame, intermission, and postgame coverage on both stations will be hosted by Jason Myrtetus and Brian Smith, while former Flyer Chris Therien is back for a fourth straight year to join them for pregame analysis.

Matvei Michkov May Be Missing Something About Philadelphia
Matvei Michkov has already given Flyers fans a glimpse of his personality, and his latest comment about Philadelphia being short on Russian bathhouses fits that mold. It was the kind of offhand remark that says as much about a player settling into a new city as it does about the city itself, especially for someone trying to make a home in a place with a very different rhythm, culture and daily routine than the one he left behind.
The wrinkle is that the bathhouse situation may not be quite what Michkov thinks it is. There are Russian bathhouses in the Greater Northeast and Lower Bucks area, including Southampton Spa, which makes this sound less like a real civic drawback and more like a simple gap in knowledge, or maybe just a player still learning the geography of his new surroundings. For the Flyers, it is a small but amusing reminder that sometimes acclimating to Philadelphia means discovering what is already tucked away just beyond the neighborhood lines. [Read more 🡒]
Flyers Rookie Camp Is Already Creating A Tough Prospect Debate
The Flyers 2026 rookie camp is already doing what these gatherings are supposed to do: making the organization sort through its prospects before the real competition begins. With the training window shortened, every shift carries a little more weight, and a few young players have started separating themselves in ways that matter to the people watching closely. Cole Knuble drew attention with a promising showing in the Rookie Series, while goalie Carson Bjarnason entered camp coming off a mixed last season but showed better form in a recent game against the Rangers.
Devin Kaplan, meanwhile, has been quieter as he works his way back into the mix after injury, which only sharpens the debate over who is ready to push for a bigger look next. For a Flyers group that wants to see development turn into decisions, rookie camp has already become less about participation and more about comparison, with one prospect building momentum and another still trying to close the gap.

Owen Tippett Faces A Big Flyers Question He Hasn't Answered Yet
Owen Tippett has settled into a familiar kind of Flyers value over the last few seasons, the sort that makes him easy to notice and hard to fully pin down. He has produced between 20 and 28 goals a year in Philadelphia, which is no small thing for a winger still trying to push his game past streaky stretches and into something more reliable. For a team looking to keep building around younger pieces, Tippett remains one of those players who can tilt a lineup if he finds a steadier level.
The bigger question is not whether he can score in this market, but whether the Flyers can get more from him than the bursts they have already seen. With younger teammates expected to grow around him, Tippett could have a cleaner path to becoming more than just a useful finisher, especially if his game starts to match the offensive instincts that have shown up in flashes. Philadelphia has reasons to believe there is more there, even if the final answer has not arrived yet. [Read more 🡒]
